As a scallop lover this appetiser sounds wonderful to me. I found this in my "stash" and want to make sure I don't lose. Times are my guess!

Time 30m

Yield 12-24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon mirin (Chinese rice wine)
1/4 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (Hot Asian)
1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
1 teaspoon garlic, finely chopped
1 pinch sugar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
12 large sea scallops, halved
12 slices bacon (thin slice)
24 wooden toothpicks, soaked in water for 1 hour

Steps:

  • In a bowl, combine the soy sauce, Mirin, chili sauce, ginger, garlic, sugar and oil. Add scallops and toss well. Set aside to marinate for 1/2 hour under refrigeration.
  • Cook the bacon until lightly browned but only about half cooked. It must still be flexible enough to wrap around the scallops. Cut each piece in half.
  • Preheat your grill to a medium heat.
  • Remove the scallops from the marinade and pat dry. Wrap each scallop in a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
  • Place the wrapped scallops on the grill and cook for about 6 minutes until bacon is crispy and the scallops are firm. Watch for flare ups and turn them often. Serve immediately.
